Abstract

The paper introduces Jade Bird Component Description Language (JBCDL) which is a part of the Jade Bird Component Library (JBCL). JBCDL is based on the Jade Bird Component Model (JBCOM). JBCOM is a 3C based hierarchic component model that is composed of specification and implementation layers and with uniformity and self contained composition. The main purpose of JBCDL is to describe component interface. It mainly applies to component composition under the help of (semi-) automatic tools. JBCDL has the following features: 1) codeware and designware that adopt the object oriented paradigm as description objects; 2) adopting the object oriented paradigm itself; 3) uniformly describing components of different forms (such as class, framework, and etc.); 4) integrating well with Jade Bird Component Library
